The Carter Family – Wildwood Flower (Ukulele)

C                                 G7          C
I'll twine mid the ringlets of my raven black hair

C                          G7       C
The lilies so pale and the roses so fair

C                            F       C
The myrtle so bright with an emerald hew

C                          G7             C
And the pale aronatus with eyes of bright blue

C                            G7             C
I'll sing and I # 17 ll dance my laugh shall be gay

C                          G7           C
I cease this wild weeping drive sorrow away

C                                F           C
Tho my heart is now breaking he never shall know

C                                    G7         C
That his name made me tremble and my pale cheek glow

C                       G7             C
I # 17 ll think of him never I # 17 ll be wildly gay

C                              G7           C
I # 17 ll charm ev # 17 ry heart and the crowd I will sway

C                               F        C
I # 17 ll live yet to see him regret the dark hour

C                                G7             C
When he won then neglected the frail wildwood flower

C                          G7          C
He told me he loved me and promised to love

C                          G7         C
Through ill and misfortune all others above

C                       F         C
Another has won him ah misery to tell

C                        G7          C
He left me in silence no word of farewell

C                            G7            C
He taught me to love him he called me his flow'r

C                                        G7        C
That blossomed for him all the brighter each hour hour

C                               F        C
But I woke from my dreaming my idol was clay

C                       G7        C
My visions of love have all faded away
